The new second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine will provide
50 lb.-ft. more peak torque compared with the first-generation
3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, to a segment-best 470 lb.-ft., beating
all diesel- and gasoline-powered competitors, including V8 engines
with nearly twice the displacement of the EcoBoost V6. Horsepower
jumps 10 from the previous version, to 375 hp.
“The 2017 Ford F-150 now delivers the best torque in the
segment,” says Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president, Product
Development, and chief technical officer. “This class-leading
torque arrives with a transformative 10-speed automatic that
improves nearly every aspect of F-150 performance.”
The 3.5-liter EcoBoost in the 2017 F-150 is paired exclusively
with the first volume-production 10-speed automatic transmission
available to consumers from any automaker.
The more capable powertrain combination will deliver improved
acceleration and performance compared with previous six-speed
automatic transmissions. The new engine provides better low-end and
peak engine performance, ideal for hauling heavy payloads and
towing heavy trailers.
The new 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine builds on the success of the
2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and first-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost
engine available for the 2016 F-150. The 2.7-liter and
first-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines account for
approximately 60 percent of F-150 sales.
The Ford F-150 remains the first and only truck in its segment
to offer a twin-turbo gasoline engine.
The 2017 Ford F-150 goes on sale this fall.
